FLAGS AND FREEDOM

The entryway is all decked out for the Fourth of July with flags and a banner I was inspired to make from something I saw on Pinterest. It was originally posted on ETSY. Here is the link.﻿

The flags in the glass vases were the ones I posted about HERE where I showed how I aged them.

Below is a close up of how I did the boards for the banner. I first painted 3.5x4.5 pieces of wood I got at Michael's with Folk Art #879 Linen. I then stamped the background lettering on with a rubber stamp I had on hand with black ink. I then blotted a brown ink pad over the whole thing to age it. I also inked the edges with black ink then added the red vinyl lettering.﻿
